Hardy Happenings
December 1, 2025
Dear Hardy Families,
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and some time to rest and recharge. The next three weeks always fly by and will be full of learning, engagement, and Hardy excitement.
We hope you will join us for the Fall Festival this Saturday from 1:00–4:00 p.m. on campus. Dad’s Club tree pick up is this Sunday for families who ordered trees or wreaths.
Students will be taking the i-Ready Diagnostic 2 in reading and math over the next two weeks. Please remind your child to go slow, do their best, and “show what they know” so the results are an accurate picture of their learning and help teachers plan instructional next steps.
Here’s to three wonderful weeks ahead and a strong finish to 2025.
With Gratitude,
Principal Aragon
